The Lion and The Scorpion

About The Lion and The Scorpion

Twice married and twice divorced: could the Roman emperor Tiberius have had a third liaison about which no information exists? Certain nuances in extant historical evidence lend credence to this possibility. Presented as an autobiography of Tiberius' fictitious third wife, The Lion and the Scorpion offers a rousing and often saucy tale of self-discovery and fulfillment; of life-threatening dangers; of bereavement and forgiveness; of marital romance and commitment; of familial conflicts, woes and tragedies, mitigated and overruled by affection and loyalty. Written by a Ph.D. specialist of the historical period, it alters neither the genuine historical record nor modern scholars' assessment of the actual persons represented. Let this literary adventure transport you to the dawning of the Roman Empire, and into the milieu of the First Family of that regime.
